However, the AC/DC space charge behavior is still not clear, which will result in electric field distortion, material aging and even insulation failure. In this work, the space charge distribution of oil-paper under the AC/DC composite voltage with the AC/DC ratio of 1:1, 1:3, 1:5, and 1:7, is studied by pulse electroacoustic (PEA) method, respectively. It was found that as DC component increases, the accumulated charge near the electrode decreases, while the interior charge increases. It suggests that DC stress mainly influences the amount and the depth of space charge accumulation. AC component has a relatively significant impact on the injection and extraction behavior of space charge near the electrode. Furthermore, AC/DC composite voltage enhances the migration of space charge compared with that under DC voltage. This research contributes to the further understanding of the space charge characteristics of oil-paper under AC/DC composite voltage, which will benefit the safe and stable operation of converter transformers.","PeriodicalId":170813,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116940097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, the existing good insulation systems besides live-line maintenance procedures can secure this target. However, the pollution traces over insulating surface may cause the failure of power transmission systems. This research aims to find to what extent is the effect of very light pollution severity on the flashover performance of polymeric insulators under DC voltages. Two insulating materials are employed in this research, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) and high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (HTV-SiR). The sample's lengths are 130 mm and their diameters are 32 mm. The artificial pollution tests are performed according to the IEC 507 clean fog test method and the flashover voltage is determined by applying the up-and-down method technique. The results show that the pollution flashover voltage decreases as the pollution severity increases and is dramatically decreased as compared to the DC flashover voltage of clean samples. Moreover, the effect of equivalent salt deposit density (ESDD) on the 50% flashover voltage of the two materials is expressed as a power function. The pollution flashover voltage gradient of HTV-SiR samples is found to be better than that of FRP materials. It is highly recommended to wipe the hot sticks with silicone wiping clothes before and after the maintenance work to remove the very light pollution layers and provide the FRP surface with a layer of silicone which increases its flashover performance. These recommendations will promote the followed procedures for live-line maintenance to preserve crew's life from unintentional accidents.","PeriodicalId":170813,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"2 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120809531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the forward discharge could occur at lower applied voltage and the back discharge could occur at higher applied voltage for the large voltage rise time or fall time.

However, one of the main disadvantages of using CFRP composites compared to metal panels is their susceptibility to lightning strike, which is mainly due to the low electrical conductivity of resins used as the matrix for binding the carbon fiber fabrics. Since the low electrical conductivity causes substantial amount of Joule heating that damages CFRP composites, increasing the conductivity of the material would reduce the damage causes by lightning strikes. Nano-fillers such as Carbon Black (CB) and Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) are materials that can enhance the electrical conductivity of CFRP composites. A thorough understanding on impact of conductive nanofillers on the lightning strike damage characteristics is necessary for potentially reducing the lightning strike damage of the CFRP composites. There are numerous research groups that investigated the effect of adding the conductive materials to reduce the damage of lightning strike, but the ideal composition of the material for CFRP composites has not been determined yet.","PeriodicalId":170813,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116626541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is known that broadband electromagnetic waves are emitted when partial discharge occurs. Under such an engineering background, insulation diagnosis methods focusing on partial discharge were verified. Partial discharge can be used as physical indicator to predict insulation failure of the propulsion coils.

Constructing polymer nanocomposites by introducing inorganic nano fillers with high permittivity in polymer matrix has been recognized as an effective way to achieve enhanced energy density, while, however, the fillers could provide conductive paths for charge carriers, thus leading to the increase of electrical conduction. It is found that layered structure design enables polymer nanocomposites with much enhanced breakdown strength and suppressed leakage current, compared with traditional single-layered counterparts. In this work, we manufactured a barium titanate/polyamideimide composite film with a sandwiched structure. In this structure, the middle layer containing ceramic nanoparticles are clapped between two pristine polymer layers, which prevent charges that are injected from electrodes to go through the film. Significantly enhanced charge-discharge efficiency and energy density is obtained through this structural design, which can enable a wide range of polymers for the improvement of energy storage performance.","PeriodicalId":170813,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124019582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
